History

The Northern Rail franchise commenced in December 2004 and inherited its fleet from those of Arriva Trains Northern and First North Western, including a large number of Class 153 single units, of which No. 153360 was one.

Under Northern Rail, the unit saw considerable use in the Carlisle area, including services on the Settle and Carlisle line and the Cumbria coastal line to Barrow-in-Furness.

Arriva Rail North, Northern Rail’s successor from 2016, operated the largest fleet of Class 153 units in the UK. No. 153360 went into storage in late 2021 and was subsequently scrapped.
